Title

Zoning Ordinance Amendments to the Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (CCLUO), Record ID #PLN-2021-17147.

 

This item includes revisions to the Inland CCLUO Zoning Ordinance (Section 314-55.3 of Chapter 4 of Division 1 of Title III of the Humboldt County Code) to require that applications for two (2) or more Retirement, Remediation and Relocation (RRR) sites proposing relocation on a single receiving site require a special permit.  These amendments would be applicable to all zoning clearance certificate applications for RRR sites and Relocation sites, including those submitted on or before December 31, 2016.  Additionally, this item includes proposed amendments to the CCLUO Section 314-55.4, providing updated definitions for “Propagation” for allowance of an area, not to exceed 25% of the cultivation area, for the use of nursery and immature plants.  Additionally, an updated definition for “Outdoor” allows use of lights requiring 60 watts of electricity or less to be used for employee safety and/or to maintain plants in a non-flowering vegetative state in the area approved for Cultivation or Propagation.  Also, the enhanced setback requirements for Cannabis Support Facilities are proposed to no longer apply to facilities for distribution and cannabis testing and research laboratories. The Planning and Building Department is recommending the Planning Commission recommend the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed changes to the CCLUO. 

 

Recommendation

Adopt the Resolution to make all required findings for adoption of an amendment to the CCLUO, recommending that the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors consider the Addendum to the CCLUO PEIR, find that no new information has been presented that changes the findings of the PEIR pursuant to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines and adopt the proposed amendments to the CCLUO.
